It was confirmed by the Secretary of the Caticlan Council
that there have been three (3) registered deaths from Dengue at Barangay
Caticlan.
According to the Secretary, one (1) was in the month of May,
and the two (2) were just this past week. The fatalities were six (6) year
olds. The two fatalities were stricken with Dengue almost at the same time and
both were residents of Sitio Tabon, Barangay Caticlan. The two were neighbors.
Because of the alarming incident, the Barangay Officials,
spearheaded by the Caticlan Barangay Captain, Julieta Aron, are now said to be
making moves to convince their Barangay to clean their surroundings.
Aside from this, an inspection has allegedly been conducted at
the vicinity of the Dengue victims and found that places where mosquitoes could
lay their eggs and garbage existed.
As a result, a thorough campaign is now being held to give
warning to residents at the Barangay. Schools are also included in the campaign
in order to avoid further deaths from Dengue.
